Running Marathons While Blindfolded

EJ Scott in on a quest to do something that would be unthinkable for most people: he's running a marathon once a month for an entire year, and he's running them all blindfolded!

EJ has an eye disease called choroideremia that is slowly taking his sight, but EJ is determined to not let it stop him. In fact, EJ is running the marathons to raise money and awareness for the disease. So far he's run marathons across the country, from Los Angeles to Chicago to New York, and, in this Backstage Bonus, he talks about the final marathon, in Las Vegas, and shares why, during that race, he'll finally be able to take the blindfold off! 

Through these marathons, EJ hopes to raise $144,000 for the Choroideremia Research Foundation. Click here to check out EJ's website and get information on making a donation.
